Isn't it funny how it is more difficult to detect speeders in heavy traffic and so easy when there is little traffic? Going much faster (or slower for that matter) than the surrounding vehicles in congested traffic is dangerous and stupid, yet violaters often get away with it. Police are rarely there when they could do the most good. Just being visible would increase safety.
On the other hand, going a bit over the posted speed limit when traffic is very light or non-existant is not very dangerous on limited access roads, yet that is usually when and where the police are visible.
Define "A bit".
In most places I've been during my past 45 years of driving (anything) going "a bit" over the limit has never resulted in a ticket, a warning or two with no points or fine but Never a ticket. Now for me "a bit" means 10 MPH or less and I doubt many LEOÔÇÖs bother with folks going ÔÇ£a bitÔÇØ over. Now, 10 or more over can get you an invite, 20 can get you in serious trouble, thou mostly they will knock it down to under 20 so there is no reckless charge if you are polite and are not being an ass about it or the manner in which you were operating the vehicle.
As for radar/laser avoidance, don't be stupid about speed and if you do, then pay up, you Were in violation, period.
